Who can Audition?
Any male-identifying or non-binary students at the University of Michigan are welcome to audition!
What is the audition process?
Our auditions, held at the start of each semester, consist of the following:
A five-minute singing audition
Please prepare a short solo that highlights your choral singing ability
If you aren’t sure what to sing, we recommend “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”
Our musical direction will test your vocal range, tonal quality, and basic sight reading abilities
A five-minute interview with our executive board
This is a great way for us to get to know you and hear why you want to join the Glee Club!
Audition decisions are ultimately made by the musical director, so this interview is not meant to be stressful for auditionees! We just want to hear more about you!
Why Audition Now?
You’ll find a home here in Club, meeting your closest friends and making your greatest college memories.
“I came to the University of Michigan as an out-of-state student, not knowing a single person on campus. At such an uncertain time in my life, the Glee Club took me in and gave me the community and brotherhood I needed. I was beyond relieved to find a place where I could not only be a part of an inclusive social scene, but also create a sound I had never before heard from male voices.” - Owen Nakatani, 4-year member and ‘19-’20 Vice-President
We uphold the highest standard of musical excellence in Club (see our history!).
“In my time with Club, despite the pandemic, I’ve sung in two custom-commissioned premieres: You Are Enough by Aron Accurso and To Repair by Tesfa Wondemagegnehu, the latter of which we’re presenting at ACDA this year! Both of these composers worked directly with Club in our rehearsals. Together, we made these pieces come to life. My fellow Clubbers are also the most diverse musicians I’ve ever met; I actually started an indie/rock band with three of the guys I met through Club! As a non-SMTD student, Club has provided me with unparalleled musical opportunities I never imagined I’d get to experience, and that’s pretty awesome.”
- John Marinan, 4-year member and ‘22-’23 President
